Letter to the Editor: Kaepernick’s right to protest is key

In response to the letter from Ron Johnson regarding Colin Kaepernick’s right to kneel during the national anthem: Wow. Last I knew we still honor the First Amendment in the United States. Johnson’s comment, “If this act was committed in another country he could end up in jail or even disappear,” terrifies me with its Trumpian philosophy.

I am a 73-year-old white lady. If I could be sure of getting up again I’d kneel with Kaepernick.
